Kai lan Two Ways




This is special way to kick up a knotch to this dish. I have always served Yau Kai Lan and Mock Seaweed/Seasoned Laver as separate dishes and never thought of putting the two together until my elder girl, Sharon, told me that she had this dish for dinner at a restaurant in Malaysia. I should have used the very tiny 'ikan bilis' but since i had a tub of fried ikan bilis, decided to use that.



Ingredients:

11/2 lb Kai Lan
1/2 cup Tiny ikan bilis - fried until crispy
Toasted sesame seeds
1/2 tsp sugar
2 tbsp oyster sauce
2 tbsp garlic oil
Method:
Follow the method in Yau Kai Lan and Mock Seaweed/Seasoned Laver

  7. Hi

    I have tried cooking this dish. Instead of using fried anchovies, I replaced it with chicken/pork floss sprinkled on the fried kai lan leaves....its taste good too...you may like to try it.
